Ahmadinejad claims ‘Zionists’ behind Swedish cartoon

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that “Zionists” were behind a cartoon in Swedish newspaper Nerikes Allehanda, which depicted the head of the Prophet Mohammed on a dog’s body. The drawing sparked an official protest by Tehran to Stockholm.

“They do not want the Swedish government to be a friend of other nations. I strongly believe they are behind it (the cartoon). They thrive on conflict and war,” he said.

Not like Mahmoud.

“Zionists are people without any religion,” Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly predicted that Israel is doomed to disappear, told a news conference in Tehran.

“They are lying about being Jewish because religion means brotherhood, friendship and respecting other divine religions,” he said.

“They are an organised minority who have infiltrated the world. They are not even a 10,000-strong organisation,” he said.

“Anywhere they are found there is war. Anywhere where there is war they are behind it,” Ahmadinejad added.
